The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth

Good good campaign, mediocre evil campaign

I finally finished this game, which was sitting on various hard drives since I bought it. I must say that the good campaign and heroes are a lot better than the evil campaign which feels a bit like a tag on. The good her... Read Full Review

Sam & Max: Season One

HIllarious verbal play and violent mayhem

It's Sam, it's Max and it's six episodes of verbal mayhem. There is a lot of humor in the game, but the episodes are all structured in the same way. After a few episodes this makes for a less interresting adventure appro... Read Full Review

Prey (2006)

It's not half bad

What can I say about Prey? It's short (8.8 hours according to Steam), it's a Quake 4 ripoff and there's too little variety in game play. That said there are still some interesting game elements like the portals and espec... Read Full Review

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

This is a multiplayer game only and I have three words for it: addictive, addictive, addictive

I am writing a review at the moment I have 189 hours logged on the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars official stats site. This game is so addictive and why is that you might wonder? It's extremely fun to play, it's got a di... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Better than Episode One, a very enjoyable experience and makes you see the story through and crave for more

I finished Episode Two with a craving for more. It gave me the same thrills that I experienced in the original Half-Life 2, and it definitely gave me more play time. I finished the game on hard which took me approximatel... Read Full Review

Project: Snowblind

Too short, too easy, too little

Finished another of my bargain bin buys, and that's where you should get it too. This game is a bit like Deus Ex: Invisible War, but even shorter and even easier. The levels are just incredibly small, I couldn't make goo... Read Full Review

Aliens Versus Predator 2

A must have and extremely good game. Another good one from the people at Monolith.

This game is simply a must have. Even though I played this one in the same time that F.E.A.R. is already out and the graphics are a bit out dated. All three races are fleshed out, and missions full use of the capabilitie... Read Full Review

Gun

A short wild-west shooter with some excellent voice acting and audio. Pick it up from your bargain bin.

I picked this game up when it had dropped from the original price down to about EUR 15. I waited this long because I'd already read that the game was pretty short, which is very true. It took me 7 hours to finish the gam... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Legend

Entertaining game of action, puzzling and simple fighting. Pick it up from your local bargain bins or web store.

After playing this game which took me roughly 10 hours to finish, I thought it was pretty entertaining. The game has good production values, great looking vistas of landscapes and tombs and solid voice work. One of the t... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Undying

A very tense game and a brilliant horror story by one a great writer.

Finally after all these years I finish Undying. This is one very good game and one very fine story to boot. Written by horror grand master Clive Barker, his writing does shine through allowing for a very cohesive story l... Read Full Review

Dungeon Siege II: Deluxe Edition

Very cool hack-n-slash RPG, keeps me eager for drops, seemless 3D!

After playing Dungeon Siege, I saw this initially come out and didn't consider it, then the expansion came out and I still didn't pick it up. But now this Deluxe combo was released for a reasonable price, I couldn't resi... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

Nice sequel, but not great, ok story, good sneaking, still too linear.

Finishing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, I of course have to compare it to the original. Some improvements were made and some problems have remained. Again there is some good story/plot development in the game and the a... Read Full Review

Unreal II: The Awakening

OK game showing of the unreal 2 engine. There's is some good variety in mission types and enemy types. Bargain bin!

Finishing Unreal 2: The Awakening I am glad I didn't buy this one when it was just out. At the start there wasn't even multiplayer which makes that the short singleplayer campaign doesn't give good value for money. I eve... Read Full Review

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse

It's an extremely funny trip as a zombie, but also extremely short (bargain only)

Once a week I go to some of my local game stores to check their bargain bins and this one turned up. Although I had checked the demo before, I didn't consider this title for a full price. And to put this on the table rig... Read Full Review

Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2

A nice, though a bit short, single player game for its time. Bargain-bin recommendation

I am working on my back log of games, so I finished this one, Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2. This is a pretty nice game for its time. Nowadays, 2005, the graphics don't hold up and the gameplay doesn't hold up. Julie is slowly... Read Full Review

Enter the Matrix

Worst piece of software ever

I have been fighting to get this game working but it simply won't let me run it. Even overcoming the 60 hz issue this game has, after changing all that it still wouldn't allow me any way in getting it to even run into th... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: United Offensive

The expansion to the excellent COD, offering more immersive action. UO offers more large scale battles and thrill rides.

Finishing UO this is an excellent expansion, although even shorter than the original. Pumped up a little more the different elements that gave COD it's thrilling action, you are definately in for a ride. The visuals agai... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2

A superb fast paced shooter, with a lot of variety in game play. Stunning visuals, physics and scenes. Cinematic feel.

Well, after 28 hours of playing on hard, using xfire to track this for the first time, I finished HL2. It's simply a superb shooter. If you're a shooter fan you have to get this one. End of statement. The pacing, the vis... Read Full Review

Far Cry

Immersive, stunning visuals, (too?) long SP campaign

After finishing Far Cry, I have to say the experience in the game is great, duration is good (not great), the only thing I didn't like was the excessively difficult final level. Boss fights are ok (although a bit old sty... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

Nice game, but not great

Finishing Splinter Cell and looking back at the story, there is a good plot development in the game. Audio is decent enough, and the graphics are of excellent quality, but those graphics are not really appreciated since ... Read Full Review

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Immersive story line, great visuals, first person noire, Bogart goes fps

Max Payne 2 is a continuation of the first part. You don't need to but the immersion into the story line is incredible having played both games. In essence MP2 is a first person shooter telling a film noire/Bogart style ... Read Full Review

DOOM 3

Doom 3 is a worthy sequel to original Doom & Doom 2

Well, I have to say, I just, finally, finished Doom 3. This is one scary game. id Software makes extremely good use of sound and visuals. This is as scary as I remember Doom and Doom 2 being in their time frame. Remember... Read Full Review

Wolfenstein

Remember those 4 famous id playing modes? They all feel like "Daddy, can I play with you?" now.

After finishing Wolfenstein this weekend, which really felt like a check mark on my list of games to be played, I can only say it was a major disappointment to me. Although the game looked good enough, using id Tech 4 an... Read Full Review
